Lightning Strikes Google Maps

Over the years we have seen live hurricane, typhoon and even live tornado maps. Now we also have a live lightning Google Map.

Blitzortung.org works with a community of users, who have built their own lightning receivers, to automatically display live lightning data on a Google Map.

Blitzortung.org includes instructions on how you can build your own lightning receiver and also includes instructions on how you can build your own Google Map based on the data received from a lightning receiver.
